Excellent shot by Roger--we were together when he took it, and this is a 
much better image of the scene than the ones I made.

To give a bit of background: it may look chaotic, but it is in fact 
organized chaos, and I doubt that any of the people on the boats was 
actually high. People who listen to classical music tend not to smoke 
pot. What was going on is that there was going to be a classical concert 
on a platform on Prinsengracht that evening, with the queen and other 
luminaries in attendance. Roger's photo was taken shortly after the 
police had given the green light for the boaters to take up the viewing 
positions. What you see on the image is people arranging themselves in 
the canal, to spend several hours waiting for the concert to start.
